Students Helping Young Students Act of 2025
This bill amends the Higher Education Act to expand the Federal Work-Study program, allowing colleges to use funds for student-led after-school programs at public K-12 schools. It directly affects colleges participating in the work-study program and public elementary/secondary schools that partner with them. Key provisions require colleges to prioritize schools in low-income communities, cover student compensation (including training/travel) for these after-school activities, and allow federal funding to exceed 75% of costs. The Secretary must establish a registration process for schools within 180 days of enactment.
